Shopping for a used pickup truck can be
exciting, however, the process itself -- the sticker shock, test drives,
and haggling -- can also be tiring. Whether you’re a value shopper looking for the best used trucks under $10000or an off-road enthusiast seeking a rugged 4x4 model,
there are many factors to consider before you shell out any cash. After
all, nobody wants to be stuck with a lemon. Understanding what to look
for beforehand will help you shop smarter rather than harder.

As
of May 2018, the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) now
requires all new cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs to have “rear view
visibility systems.” The government calls them by the acronym RVS, but
most people know them as backup cameras.

When it comes to choosing a truck, theToyota Tacoma andToyota Tundra are
two popular options worth considering. The Tacoma is the top-selling
midsize truck in the United States, selling nearly 200,000 units in
2017. The Tundra is a full-sized truck, with more than 116,000 units
sold in 2017. Which you pick will likely be determined by how you want
to use it.

If
you’re in the market for a full-sized pickup truck, there are some
great options on the market right now. As welcome as this selection may
be, the sheer variety of available configurations can also be daunting
and frustrating to sift through. Make sure you think first about how you
will be using your truck, and then compare similar configurations to
see how they line up.

Shopping
for a full-size pickup truck can be confusing. There are some great
choices out there, with plenty of variables to consider in their
configurations – from cab size to bed size to engine specs. When making
your decision, you’ll need to take into account what you’re planning to
use your truck for, and then take a closer look at similar
configurations within the right ballpark to meet your needs.

TheFord F-150 is
the top selling full-size pickup truck on the market today with over
896,000 units sold last year. It has been the #1 choice for truck buyers
for more than 30 years. However, if you’re unsure of which pickup truck
to buy, don’t overlook the
Toyota Tundra. While it sold fewer units in 2017 than the Ford F-150 (116,285 to be precise), it has its own dedicated fanbase.

When it comes to trucks, the Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, Dodge Ram,
and GMC Sierra top the list in sales, but the Nissan Titan is worth your
consideration as well. If you’re choosing between the Nissan Titan and
the Chevy Silverado, which is the best fit for you?
